Sustainable Global Education Blueprint – One Community Weekly Progress Update #110

Creating a sustainable global education blueprint that will teach people how to live sustainably anywhere in the world can be accomplished. To truly meet the goals of all people, everywhere, this model will combine physical sustainability (food, energy, housing, etc.) and emotional sustainability (education, economics, recreation, etc.). Open source and free-sharing these as a complete model can make this lifestyle an accessible reality for everyone. One Community is doing this as a path to a sustainable global education blueprint for The Highest Good of All:

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL EDUCATION BLUEPRINT HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding a sustainable global education blueprint through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students:

• Learn about the components: Education open source hub
• Learn how the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
  

This last week the core team transferred the first 25% of the written section and images for the “Open Source” lesson plan to the website – which you can see here:

Behind the scenes we also wrote another 25% of this lesson plan, bringing it to 50% written completion.

Also behind the scenes, we wrote the first 25% of our next lesson plan with the central theme of “Nature“.

We also added the final 70% of the violet section to the Technology and Innovation Molecule webpage, which you can see here. This molecule is now 98% complete, with a few additional points to be researched and added to provide more sustainable global education blueprint examples.

Paige Allison Donatelli (Graphic Designer and Owner Operator of Namaste Living in a Material World) finished another 25% of the image creation for the Open Source lesson mindmap, which you can see here. That brings this mindmap to 50% complete:

Paige also helped us create this new image for the “Happiness” lesson plan, which we featured this week across our social media channels:

SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL EDUCATION BLUEPRINT HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is establishing a sustainable global education blueprint through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

• Learn about the structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
• See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This last week the core team finished the final social media imagery and featured our open source corn hub:

And we did this for our food forest herb plantings hub too:

We also researched and added the final major component to the open source potatoes hub: RECIPES! You can see these new additions here. These first recipe lists will grow as our food experts continue the process of designing the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan for remote village construction.

In addition to this, we added two new tasty recipes from Sandra Sellani (Vegan Chef and author of What’s Your BQ?) to the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan: Tortilla Salad and Lentil and Brown Rice Stuffed Red Pepper Salad.

SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL EDUCATION BLUEPRINT HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is establishing a sustainable global education blueprint through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

• Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
• Learn about the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
• Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team continued progress on the assembly specifics for the Open Source Murphy bed furniture. This work is happening behind the scenes and what you see here will be part of the Earthbag Village and the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This week we finished cutting lumber and labeling pieces for two back shelves and begin exploring a new shelving and ladder design. We estimate we are now 67% complete with this behind-the-scenes work.

Also, behind the scenes, we finished another 5% of the earthdome loft construction tutorial specifics. This work included lining out details for deck install and looking at possible need to change spacing of joists, sorting out screw sizes, and creating what was needed for an engineer to run loft structural calculations. We’re now 60% complete with this behind-the-scenes work.

Scott Thomas and his Shadow Ridge Signature Architecture Program team finished their part of the work putting the complete Earthbag Village components together in AutoCAD. Here is the 2D layout of the complete village created from our 3D Sketchup files:

Sheng Xu (Mechanical Design Engineer) also finished his third round of SolidWorks design specifics for the 3-dome cluster of the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This work included adding the door and window specifics. The colored dots you see above the windows and doors are recycled bottles for adding additional artistic and colored natural lighting:

Nelli Levental (Graphic Designer and College Professor) also created these second concept sketches for the earthship village (Pod 6) featuring a stacked design of two levels providing 40 units… this then evolved into a straight design that will take better advantage of passive solar…. and look like this if built into a hill…. These 2-level earthship inspired designs are expandable and will have a central large-scale kitchen, several shared common spaces, and start with sufficient housing for 60-80 people.

SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL EDUCATION BLUEPRINT DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is establishing a sustainable global education blueprint through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

• Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This last week the core team updated the open source indoor/outdoor natural pool and eco-spa page with the plumbing design specifics of Rob Gjerde (Pool Design & Construction Expert and owner of Sorico Design and Consulting). You can see these additions here:

Mateus Barretto (Civil Engineering Student specializing in Hydraulics) also finished the calculations for the Duplicable City Center water catchment specifics including pipe sizing and selection that you can see here:

SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL EDUCATION BLUEPRINT HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is establishing a sustainable global education blueprint through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

• Read the Highest Good Society overview: Highest Good Society
• Learn about the model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
• Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating objective and measurable global transformation to grow together and change the world together. We are creating a space that helps each other live in integrity with each other and the planet as we strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves. We do this by harmoniously respecting each other, nature, and the rest of our one shared planet.

Our goal is to demonstrate what we feel is the most sustainable, healthy, and fun environment we can create. A place based on compassion, kindness, and collaboration. This replicable community will serve as an example for what is possible, creating objective and measurable global transformation.

Throughout our design process of creating objective and measurable global transformation, we are open sourcing and free-sharing everything needed for construction and replication. This includes what we call “Highest Good” approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economics design, social architecture, fulfilled living, stewardship practices, and more. We are creating these resources for implementation as individual components or complete developments called teacher/demonstration hubs. These hubs will help launch additional hubs as awareness and knowledge grow.

BUILDING THE FIRST OF MANY

One Community will be the first teacher/demonstration hub to create objective and measurable global transformation. It will function as an experiential-learning model that facilitates mass participation to address humanity’s most pressing challenges through: A replicable model for expansion, building seven self-sufficient village/city prototypes, becoming the world leader in open-source sustainability solutions, and evolving and expanding ALL aspects of sustainable living.

WHY ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING THIS

The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating objective and measurable global transformation within 30 years. We will achieve this by establishing successful teacher/demonstration hubs on every continent. Villages include designs appropriate for each of the five main types of climates. They also include options for even the most challenged economies. These hubs will collaborate with one another, share ideas, and resources, and work together as a network to heal the planet. They will also transform the global lifestyle into a more enjoyable, fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable one.

The specifics of how One Community is accomplishing the objective and measurable global transformation can be found on the One Community Solution Model to Create Solution-creating Models Page. Research supporting and showing the benefits of a model like this can be found in our Research and Resources Articles Archive.

Even if we don’t achieve our ultimate goal of objective and measurable global transformation, a self-replicating teacher/demonstration model like this will take a relatively short period of time to positively affect millions while inspiring millions more. For One Community residents (the Pioneer Team), the idea of creating and sharing the social and recreational experience with visitors is also fun, exciting, fulfilling, and an additional reason why we are creating this.
